By looking at the fossils and seeing how they change over time.
The fossil record shows a slow progression from a simple organism to a more complex one.
Most do, but not necessarily for humans.
Fossils give a record as to what organisms lived throughout different time periods. Generally speaking, the lower layers of soil show the oldest fossils, which aids scientists in following the progression of evolution of an organism. Also, radioactive carbon dating is used in dating how old a fossil is by finding the amount of carbon^14, and then calculating how many half lives have passed to reach this amount.
Fossils are like the clues the police use to solve a crime. Together they paint a picture of the truth - in this case the truth is evolution Each one tells a story. Like clues to a crime, where the police don't have to find a print of every footstep taken by a subject or confirm every thing that he did, the clues paint a logical outline of all the events around the crime. Like clues in a crime the police do not initially identify a person they want to pin the crime on and then seek to tie him to the event - they find a number of clues which identify potential subjects of interest. They then attempt to prove the relation of these suspects to the crime until the trail of evidence is strong and dependable. Usually multiple facts on the same evidence are considered - for a crime it might be fingerprints and video tape and eye witnesses, for fossils it could be carbon 14 and dendrochronology and geologic strata.

Evidence from land features fossils and ancient climate zones or changes. Many continents are neatly lined up with each other for example Africa's coast lines up with south America's east coast and north American coal beds line up with European coal beds. Many fossils of animals are found on continents that are now separated neither animal could swim that far.The animals are called Mesosaurus and Mesosaurus.Plant fossils are found in Antarctica and are tropical plants which means Antarctica was near the equator at one time. Hope this helped!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fossils show clear evidence that the earliest human species had many apelike features & have evolved over the years.
how does adaptations give evidence for evolution?
If the question is to give examples of biological in a sentence. " ...This is Biological evidence." or " Biological studies show that... "
It gives us evidence by finding the animals fossils their.
The kind and numbers of fossils found in different kinds of rocks give clues about past ecosystems. Fossils give evidence that, in any ecosystem, some plants and animals survive well, and some do not.
A coprolite is fossilized animal dung. Coprolites are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils, as they give evidence for the animal's behaviour (in this case, diet) rather than morphology.

Fossils give us a lot of information about species which used to exist on Earth but which are now extinct. With this information we can see in greater detail how species have evolved over time.
Fossil Record the ordered array in which fossils appear within layers of sedimentary rocks. Comparative Anatomy comparison of body structures in different species, which give signs of common descent. Biogeography the geographical distribution of species.
The kind and numbers of fossils found in different kinds of rocks give clues about past ecosystems. Fossils give evidence that, in any ecosystem, some plants and animals survive well, and some do not.
Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
